Abstract:
The Copper Zinc Tin Sulfide (CZTS) is
considered as one of the promising semiconductor materials in
Kesterite family for potential solar cells absorber material.
This work focuses on the numerical model and simulation of
efficient CZTS based thin-film solar cell. Popular thin-film
solar cell simulator wxAMPS was used for simulation of
(Al:ZnO/i-ZnO/CdS/CZTS/Mo)structured solar cell and the
effects of different layer properties on cell performance
parameters were analyzed. An optimized cell with 15.84%
(%FF=72.86, Voc=0.78Volt and Jsc=27.98 mA/cm2) energy
conversion efficiency has proposed. The temperature
coefficient (TC) of 0.02%/○C had shown the higher stability of
the proposed cell. All of the simulated results had encouraged
towards fabrication of high performance thin-film CZTS solar
cells.
